i need help with numbers 52 through 57. if you can only do one problem thats fine. i just need to know how to do at least one problem because i don't understand how to figure out these problems.

Special right triangles: 30-60-90 right triangles and 45-45-90 right triangles.

 

 

Hope this helps! :D

Thanks, rarinstraw......here are the "numbers" for 52

 

x is the shortest side opposite the 30 degree angle  = 7

 

y ....across from the 60 degree angle will be √3  times as long as this = 7√3

 

z  ...across from the 90 degree angle will be twice as long as x  = 2*7   = 14

 

(53)

 

x will be 1/√3 as long as y =  14/√3     ....z will be twice as long as x = 28/√3

 

54 is similar

 

 

For 55......since the angles opposite p and q are equal, then p and q are also equal

 

So    q = 1      and the other side, r,  in a 45-45-90  triangle will always be √2 times as long as the equal sides....so r =1 *√2  =√2

 

56 should be easy

 

57  - the unknown sides are  1/√2   as long as r .....  so they  equal 16 * 1/√2  = 16/ √2

 

 

 

cool cool cool
